February 21 - Mark 8

on Monday, February 21, 2011

“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.  For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.
Denying ourselves isn't an easy thing to do.  Our first instinct normally is to look out for numero uno.  As true followers, Jesus said denying ourselves is the first thing we must do.  Saying "no" to our desires, our plans and will means saying "yes" to God's desires for us, his plans and his will.  When we follow Him, we will find true satisfaction and success.

Who are you following and where is it leading?  I pray it is Christ.  Only there will we find TRUE happiness.

I love you all!
